Alright folks, as someone who loves to analyze the culture of political discourse lets take a look at the rhetoric coming out of the Yes and No BDS debate. . An Example of the Yes to BDS side: Israel’s occupation and settlement of the Palestinian territories stands in clear violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and international law, according to the UN Security Council, Resolution 68/82 of the UN General Assembly, the European Union, and the advisory opinion of the ICC rendered on 9 July 2004 . . . Our message is simple: as critically -thinking students, why should we agree to be complicit when we have the choice?

As the students of Concordia did when I was there in the 2000-2004, I believe they will wake up to the absurdity of their student government’s support of Antisemitism and, if not topple the CSU as we did back then, at least prevent it from embarrassing our school any further.
